LUXEMBURG WANTS DEMOCRATIC STATE PARIS, Oct. 12. dethronement of Grand Duchess Marie Adelaide of Luxemburg and the establishment in the Grand Duchy of a democracy like that of France, was demanded in resolutions adopted here recently at a mass meeting of subjects of Luxemburg residing in Paris, The meeting was called principally to protect against the announced engagement of Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria and Princess Antoinette, youngest sister of the Grand Duchess. Prince Rupprecht has been commander of the German forces along the northern part of the western front in France. Recently it was reported that he had been displaced but later restored to his command. ' The Grand Duchess was characterized by several speakers as being entirely Germanophile, one declaring that when Luxemburg was entered by the Germans, she telegraphed to the Emperor William, "I pray God every day that our army may be successful and soon bring back to Germany a heavy harvest of laurels." Another speaker declared that she went twice to Longwy, personally to congratulate the German Crown Prince Frederick on having captured it. The' first time, he said, she was too early and had to hurry back under French fire. The second time, she presented the Crown Prince with a bouquet in the streets of Longwy. Funck Brentano, the historian, presided at the meeting and made the principal speech, expressing indignation at the engagement of Prince Rupprecht and Princess Antoinette, and declaring It was a political affair, "devised by Berlin and readily accepted by the Grand Duchess to please the Germans." "There can be no question of love in such a marriage," he declared. "The princess is but nineteen, while the Bavarian Crown Prince, whose first wife died of sorrow at his conduct towards her, is fifty and looks like a man of sixty." CHESTER, IND. The Women's Foreign Missionary society held their October meeting with Mrs. Jennie Huffman, last Tuesday afternoon. Nine regular members were present and four visitors were present.

Shipbuilding Makes Again "Cradle

(By Associated Press) PHILADELPHIA, Oct 12 Shipbuilding, under the spur of the German submarine menace, has made Philadelphia, for the second time in American history, a "cradle of liberty." Fostered by the natural advantages of the Delaware river, together with proximity to the nation's steel production centers, the country's largest group of shipyards, Including the world record making Hog Island plant, has grown up in the home district of the Pennsylvania metropolis. In this district are employed mnn than 100,000 shipworkers, one-fourth the enrollment in the industry throughout the United States, whose outturn to date is fifty vessels, twentyseven of them ready for service. Vessels of all types, from 3,500-ton. wooden steamers to huge steel freighters of 12,000 tons, are produced. The influx of workers has overrun a score of communities, enforcing the building of seven new towns, yet the cry is for mere men and more men. Given a sufficiency of materials and the workers to handle them, the "Philadelphia phenomenon" in ship construction promises to become another world's wonder. In this region the Emergency Fleet i Corporation, through the companies carrying on its work, has undertaken an extensive housing project. At Bristol, Chester, Cornwells and Hog Island in Pennsylvania, at Camden and Gloucester on the New Jersey side and at Wilmington in Delaware, homes, bachelor apartments, barracks, boarding houses and even a hotel have been erected, with the hope of soving the problem of inadequate labor growing out of poor accomodations. How the yards on the Delaware have expanded in the past eleven months and what this influx of labor means to the communities along the river is indicated by comparison with the census of last October, when the aggregate of men engaged was less than 25,000. Excluding Cramps and the New York Shipbuilding corporation, which were then working as completed yards, the nine other plants on the Delaware then reported 12,000 workers. Old Gloucester Reawakened. More than half the present force of shipbuilders has been recruited from outside the district, so that the population growth from this source alone has been double that of any normal year. At Bristol. 25 miles above Philadelphia and beyond the confines of the previously accepted shipbuilding zone, workers at the Merchant plant now exceed the entire population of the borough in 1910. Chester, where John B. Roach built American warships fifty years ago, has trebled in a year its population gain between 1900 and 1910. Except the great Hog Island plant, that of the New York Shipbuilding corporation, at Camden, N. J., employing 11,500 men, is the largest in the Phiadelphia district. When work that Is now under way is completed there will be 29 shipways, most of them able to accommodate at one time two ships of ordinary size. The yard set a new world's record when it launched the collier Tuckahoe in 27 days from the time the keel was laid. Ten days later the vessel was completed, a feat which has not been equalled for a ship of this type. Transportation has been a problem, with the majority of the workers forced to travel long distances to and from the plant. To overcome this difficulty the company Is erecting the town- of Yorkshire a mile from the works, with a connecting trolley line. The community, which will be without saloons, will be made a part of Camden. Neighboring Glouchester is another shipbuilding center. When the glory of the old race track days faded under the ban of the New Jersey legislature enactment, the town went to sleep. It has been awakened. The Pusey & Jones company operates two yards. The "Pennsylvania " plant, two years old, has launched seven ships of assorted types within a year, and the newly completed "New Jersey" shops have four vessels on the ways. Launchi?gs here are made sidewlse into a basin, a process said to be much simpler, than the sternforemost slide which has been practiced through centuries of shipbuilding. The company is erecting 550 homes for its workers near the two yards. Recently both the Glouchester and Wilmington yards of the Pusey & Jones company have been combined under the Emergency Fleet corporation and a standard type of 12,000 ton steel vessels will be built. Cities Respond to Call. Creation in . less than a, year of a great fabricated steel shipyard, with one vessel launched and three others about ready to take the water, is the feat accomplished by the Merchant Shipbuilding corporation,, whose 12way plant is situated on the west bank of the Delaware at Bristol. The comit CAN I BE CURED? How often have you heard that sad cry from the victims of disease. Perhaps the disorder has gone too far for help, but oftener It is just in Its first stages and the pains and aches are only nature's first cries for help. Do not despair. Find out the cause and give nature all the help you can and she will repay you with health. Look after he kidneys. The kidneys are the most overworked organs of the human body, and when they fail In their work of filtering and throwing off the poison that constantly accumulates in the system, everything goes wrong. GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil Capsules will give almost immediate relief from kidney and bladder troubles and their kindred ailments. They will free your body 'from pain In short order. But be sure to get GOLD MEDAL. Look for the name on every box. In three sizes, sealed packages. Money refunded If they do not help you. Adv. Dry Cleaning D. Moody Welling

Philadelphia of U. S. Liberty"

pany and its 13,000 employes have pledged themselves to deliver sixteen completed 8,000 ton cargo vessels by the end of 1918. Contracts call for sixty vessels of 528,000 aggregate tonnage. A modern town covering 175 acres, built simultaneously with the yards, has eliminated housing difficulties. With a park about which centers its educational and recreational life, this community, Harriman, presents advanced ideas in townsite development. The 400 to 500 buildings, completed or under construction, include bachelor houses, single houses and a modern 300-room hotel. The town also boasts a public school, a high school, auditorium, gymnasium and athletic field and its own fire depart ment and postoffice. At Chester, where the Sun Shipbuilding company's 9,000 workers have completed four cargo ships and have launched two others, a $6,000,000 mod el comunity is being built. Another housing project is that of the Traylor Shipbuilding corporation at Cornwells, where nearly 100 homes, in addition to barracks, are being erected. The Traylir company has trained virtually all its 3,400 men, who are building wooden ships. Its management claims a national record in planking a hull in eleven days. Wilmington, a shipbuilding town for generations, quickly responded to the nation's demand for cargo carriers. With 6,000 workers', the Harlanfe Hollingsworth plant of the Bethlehem Shipbuilding corporation has completed six steel vessels and launched another. The Pusey & Jones company has another steel plant here, employing 3,000 mn n four ways, and the American Car and Foundry company, with 4,000 persons on its payroll, is building wooden hulls. Wilmington has contended with a serious housing problem which the plant managers say will be overcome when 600 new houses, now in construction, are completed. EMPLOYMENT BUREAU CALLS FOR 47 MEN The local Employment service office has been called upon to furnish 47 men for employment at . the United States Government Powder plant near Nashville, Tenn. This call is very urgent because one of the largest powder plants in the country has recently been destroyed by fire. The government is recruiting 2500 men. Men from 18 to 45 only will be accepted. The pay is good, the hours are short, and the work light manual labor. Men interested in taking up this important government work are asked to call at the Employment Service office at once and register. They will be called later. The plant is located 18 miles from Nashville. The company operates special trains daily for the accomodation of employes. The type of men required is one above the grade of common labor, physically able to do ordinary manual labor, with intelligence and ambition, and not under size or under weight. Many of these men will be the ones from which foremen and supervisors will be selected. This is 100 per cent war work and very important The pay is 53 cents an hour for eight hours, time and a half for overtime, double time on Sundays. TransDortatlon furnished. Hogs harvesting a corn and soy bean crop will make faster and cheaper gains than if fed the same feed by hand.

Cheese Recipes

By NINA V. SHORT, Emergency Home Demonstration Agent. Pimento Cheese. ' Pimento cheese is made by mixing ground pimentos with either cottage or Neufchatel curd. The pimentos should be run through a meat grinder and then mixed with the curd. This mixture is improved if it is run through a meat grinder, a more uniform color and a texture more free from lumps being secured. A dash of red pepper is relished by most people.' A one-quarter pound can of pimentos is sufficient for the curd from two bgallons of milk. Pimento cheese is very popular for sandwich use. Olive Cheese. Olive cheese is made by adding onequarter cup of ground stuffed or seeded olives to one pound of either cottage or Neufchatel cheese. Sandwich Nut Cheeae. About two ounces of finely ground nut meats may be used to one pound of cheese, these two being thoroughly mixed. The flavor improves by aging for two or three days in a cold place. Mixed walnuts and almonds are most commonly used, but any desired combination is satisfactory. Heavy skinned nuts, such as almonds should be blanched and the skins removed before grinding. Club Cheese. Club or snappy cheese is made by mWlnw nno T,n rt Hiitter with fivo tf eight parts of well cured or old Ched - dar cheese (common store cheese). Both the cheese and butter are cut up and put through a meat grinder. After adding a dash of cayenne pepper the whole is mixed well with spoon or paddle and f-.gain put through the grinder. If packed tightly into jelly jars and stored in a cool place, this cheese will keep for a considerable time. It is very important that both the cheese and butter be of good flavor. Cheddar or American Cheese. It requires much more labor and skill to make Cheddar than to make the various soft curd cheeses and more milk is required. On this account its manufacture in the home is not recommended. No one should attempt it except those who have had factory experience or home training under some one who horoughly understands the process. COTTAGE 'CHEESE DISHES Cottage cheese may be served plain as the main dish of a luncheon or supper in place of cold meat. Variations Mix broken nut meats, chopped pimentoes, finely cut green peppers, diced cucumbers, or other crisp vegetables with the cheese. . Season dry cheese rather well, pac't into buttered earthen or enamel dish, chill and turn it out on a platter and serve in slices like cold veal loaf. Mix with the cheese small quantity of left over ham or corned beef, finely ground, and season the whole with made mustard. Serve this in slices or turn the mold out on a border of lettuce leaves. Cottage cheese -in white sauces is useful for creaming potatoes, eggs, toast and left over vegetables and for scalloping these and other dishes. The cheese materially increases the protein and lime content of the sauce, thickens it somewhat and unless the DON'T TOU NEED OXE SOWf There are times when every person needs an old fashioned physic.

acid is neutralized with baking soda, lends it a slight sour or acid flavor which is desirable in some dishes and undesirable in others. From to teaspoon of soda is necessary to neutralize completely the acid flavor in one cup of cheese. The . soda should be dissolved in a little milk or hot water and blended with the cheese. Make the white sauce and cool thoroughly before adding the cheese as a high temperature will toughen it. Scalloped dishes made with cottage cheese should be placed in a quick hot oven so that the - crumbs may brown before the sauce boils.
